Title says it all. The raid will come out later, and they're not saying when. Good job bungie. You keep making such great decisions.

Edit: ok, a couple things.
1; yes, i know they did this with VOG and with crota's hard mode. I was there from the start, i remember all this.
2; in some ways it does make sense. Let everyone level up, then start the race.
3; I'm not sitting here flipping shit over this. I felt like informing the community on something that bungie has, for some reason, failed to mention for quite a while now. Seems shady to me. Wait for everyone to preorder because of hype, then say at the last minute "oh yeah, you won't get your raid yet." Bad business practice.
4; of its out in a week or 2 that's fine. But the fact is, we don't know at this point because bungie is silent. It might be a month or 2 (doubtful, but who knows. We damn sure don't).
So bungie, if you read this, give us a time we can expect the raid. Don't just say eventually. Don't make the community speculate.
Edit 2; got a response from cozmo.
[quote]It's not getting postponed, pushed back, or anything like that. We are simply doing the same thing that we did with the Vault of Glass and giving everyone some time to level up and get ready for the race to worlds first. The Raid will follow shortly after The Taken King releases.[/quote]
Edit 3; YES, i know this had happened before. VOG didn't come out at first. But then with dark below, crota's raid DID come out immediately,with hard mode being released later. So there is a set precedence for either thing to happen. And considering that every endgame activity in every dlc has been available from the start, it's not to far fetched to assume that could be the case here

The World First Raid Race has always been an exciting event in the Destiny community. And, to keep it fair, everyone has to start at the same time. Bungie isn't taking it away from TKK to sell it separately. They are just locking it for a short while to give everyone a fair amount of time to get their guns and gear ready for the raid. They did it with VOG and they did it with Crota's End.
